To all whom` it may concern: F. The springs C are also connected together o Be it known that I, EMIL C. HAESELER, a by similar means which means form no part citizen of the United States, residing at Dayof my invention. Y

ton, in the county of Montgomery and State Heretofore it has been the custom to con- 5 of Ohio, have invented certain new and useneet the spring C to the frameE by Wrapping ful Improvements in Seats, ot which the folwith twine as shown in Fig. 3, or by a me- 55 Vlowing is a specication. tallic connector similar to F as shown in Fig.

My invention relates to seats for railroad 4. Considerable labor is involved in Wrapcars and other purposes, and it consists in an ping with twine but this method has been to improved manner of connecting the Springs more generally employed for the reason that with the frame, the object of the invention the metallic connectors soon wear or cut the 6c being to provide a more substantial conneccanvas and plush or other covering, and both tion between the springs and frame, and t0 so the described methods are objectionable in connect them together as to cause the springs that they permit the springs and frame to t5 and frame to maintain practically one posiwork independently and When compressed to tion with relation to each other during the assume the position shown in Figs. 3 andtin 65 various movements to which seats are subwhich figures it Will be Observed the wire jected, and to further provide means for Conframe lies under the top coil of the spring, necting the springs and frame together which while it has always been the aim in constructzo shall be less expensive than the present ing seats to so connect the springs Withthe method of tying with twine and less liable to frame as to prevent their moving independ- 7o wear the canvas or other covering than the ently of each other, as such movement soon metallic connectors sometimes employed for destroys the covering and causes frequent rethiS pUIpOSe. newals, to prevent such independent movez 5 The invention will be first fully described ment and to provide a stiffer and more subin connection With the accompanying draW- stantial edge for the seat. I connect the 75 ings, in which corresponding parts are indisprings to the frame by lapping a strip of cated by similar letters of reference wherever metal or other suitable material G, around the they occur in the several figures. two and extending it to one of the interme- 3o Figure l is a perspective View of a Seat diate coils of the spring around which it is frame and a sufficient number of springs to bent as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, by which means 8o clearly show the invention. Fig. 2 is a cross the end coil of the spring and the frame are section through lineXX of Fig. l. Fig. 3, is maintained in one relative position at all a broken perspective view of one spring contimes and the frame substantially braced,

Fig. 4, is a similar View structed. to Fig. 3, With an ordinary metallic tie or I claim as my invention, band substituted for the twine shown in Fig. A seat having a frame to which a series of 4o 3. Fig. 5, is a similar view to Figs. 3 and 4, springs are connected, a band connecting the the spring being connected to the frame in frame andspring and an arm extendingt'rom 9o the manner shown in Figs. l and 2. the band to one of the intermediate coils of I have shown a car seat composed of aframe the spring substantially as and for the puror base A, provided with transverse bars B, pose set forth.
